Fundraising for Central Missouri School Shooting Teams
2/11/09
A local committee has formed in Columbia, Missouri to establish the inaugural Scholastic Shooting Trust Fund banquet to benefit school shooting teams in Central, Missouri. The banquet will take place September 17 at the Holiday Inn Executive Center in Columbia. Glenn Chambers, current president of the Conservation Federation of Missouri, and Mary Ann Gates, of Prairie Grove Shooting Sports, are co-chairing the event and are currently in the planning stages. Mr. Chambers said, "We look forward to starting something that will have a permanent impact on school shooting sports here in Central, Missouri."
The Scholastic Shooting Trust (www.scholasticshootingtrust.org) was formed to provide funding for shooting sports education in traditional public and private high schools, colleges and universities, so that participating students can improve their confidence, discipline and leadership skills. Alumni, families of team members and community members fund the grants through donations to the Scholastic Shooting Trust so that youths have a better opportunity to compete in the shooting sports. Larry and Brenda Potterfield created the MidwayUSA Foundation, Inc. in 2007 to support education in shooting sports, hunting, firearms safety and outdoor skills.
